thanks. I am headed there this weekend. Fished pool 4 about three weeks ago and had some luck on the saugers and eyes. Floated right down the middle bouncing the bottom with 1/4 jigs and ringworms. Wasn't very busy. Bald eagles were everywhere!

sunday 3/8 - Pool 2 was very slow. Fished from 7am-2pm. Saw about 4 boats, didn't see anyone boat a fish. Most fished the shelf at the Minnesota/Mississippi convergence. using 1/4 oz jigs with ringworms crappie minnows and paddle tails. Nothing. I did manage to hook into a 20 lb carp. Froze our tails off

Most of the shore had about 3 feet of ice extended into the river. There were some open spots, but 4 inch thick ice was still holding tight. There were 1 or 2 people fishing near the ford plant launch.
